Marion H. Chaffin was listed as 4 years old on the 23rd of April 1910 census of Putnam County, Tennessee. A Putnam County Tennessee death record lists Marion Chaffin's death as 1 Jan 1911 in Putnam County Tennessee and says he was four years old.
Born in Jackson County Tennessee, the death record is signed by the county clerk, says Marion'[s physician was Dr. Endsor and Marion died of "abscess of brain". In the memoirs of Okla K. Chaffin (older brother of Marion Chaffin), he says "on March 13, 1906, the eighth child was born to my parents. He was named Marion Harris for another beloved Church of Christ preacher.
Little Marion was a sweet, chubby brown-eyed boy who made friends with everybody. He did not stay with us very long.
He passed away on January 1, 1911. He was almost five when he died of pneumonia." It is probable Marion's gravestone has been misread because of age damage, and the chiseled birth year is 1906 not 1908. Marion is the son of Abner H and Inda Belle Sliger Chaffin
